On Friday night, I took to Instagram with a picture of my Healthy Chocolate Fruit and Nut Bars. This was probably one of the best afternoon tea creations I've ever made. On a whim, I said if 50 people ...

If you hadn’t heard of her before, you probably became familiar with the name Elyse Knowles when she and her boyfriend Josh joined (and won) The Block in 2017. She’s an Australian model, Ambassador, Entrepreneur, TV ambassador and Influencer and she’s only 25! Talk about impressive! She’s also recently released her first book, ‘Living with…

Have you ever made a resolution that the diet starts today, only to succumb to the lure of a salted caramel brownie as you grab your morning coffee? Have you ever found yourself investing hours browsing dream holiday destinations online, when you knew you should be starting that overdue tax return? Or have you ever…

We all know we need to eat more vegetables, but just how much more? This is essential for us to know as the average Australian is meeting only half of their recommended intake of vegetables. How can you determine if you’re meeting your needs or not? Eat Pray Workout’s dietitian, Melanie Sharpe is going to…

2018 is rounding down and with it so are my energy levels. There’s been a lot on my plate this year with Reis away on deployment, then coming home, living between two cities, seeing Reis mostly on weekends, getting Finn into a day care program (he just started going two short days a week), and…

Let’s face it, managing a small business is not a small task. It can be overwhelming and can lead to BIG levels of stress. I’ve been asked before – how do you do it all? Sometimes I wonder too and often think ‘with great difficulty’, however I have learnt a few things about managing stress…

For many years now I’ve been wondering ‘should I switch to buying organic food’? Is it really necessary in Australia? Do I have to go completely organic when I grocery shop? How does a full non-organic grocery shop compare? Which items should I opt for if I can’t do the whole shop organically? Why aren’t…

I love being in nature and I don’t spend half as much time outdoors amongst nature as I would like to – how about you? I find that between work commitments, studying for my PT course, caring for my family and managing my house I have little time to stop and smell the flowers, so…

‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead’. It sounds comical, but has the ethos of this statement crept its way into your life? Does the word ‘workaholic’ feel familiar? In our society where constant attention, activity and engagement is demanded, saying ‘yes’ has become an impulse reaction. Our identities and satisfaction lie in our ability to be…

Breakfasts

Remember when i told you these overnight oats were my favourite breakfast? Well now banana oat smoothies have become my favourites! I previously made them without oats, like this banana berry smoothie but found they weren’t filling enough so I use that recipe as a snack instead. The oats are low gi meaning they will keep you full…

Who else is a sucker for french toast?! An amazing breakfast that many would eat any time of the day. I LOVE it and I’ve been eating my healthy french toast recipe regularly but since eating a low FODMAP diet i’ve changed my recipe to be low FODMAP, gluten and dairy free. I hope you enjoy…

Smoothie bowls are my favourite breakfast in the warmer months. They taste delicious; are more satisfying than a smoothie because they take longer to eat …and of course, who doesn’t love capturing a gorgeous smoothie bowl photo to share on instagram?! This pink bowl of chilled goodness is packed with strong antioxidants such as Vitamin…

I love vegetarian patties but sadly there are pre-made no store bought varieties I can enjoy as they are all packed with onion and garlic. Don’t get me wrong – that’s delicious, but unfortunately I am intolerant to garlic and onion as it triggers IBS for me. This situation is particularly frustrating as the packets…

Bored of spreads on toast? Then it’s time to switch out the old boring Vegemite or jam for these beautiful savoury vegetable toast toppings. These are my four favourite toast topping combos full of nourishing ingredients & still tantalising to the taste buds. Most of them also cover the vegetable/fats/carbs/protein elements that should be in a…
